There are currently 202 Democrats in the House of Representatives and 44 in the Senate.

This is a neutral definition of the word Democrat. Urban Dictionary should be about defining words, not advancing a point of view.

A democrat is a left sided individual who most likely believes the following:

That an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind so we'll give them medication for that.

That the IRS (a government branch that was invented with the help of changing the constitution, see amendment XVI)benefits the welfare of its people by spending it on lower medical standards.

The army is not supposed to provide equality and defend the basic human rights of all peoples, just those of Americans, but that Mexican illegal immigrants should be allowed to live in our country, speaking their language, singing their anthem, and make up our minds.

That the right to religion applies to all people but that Christians cannot spread the teachings of a Jewish man to those they care about based on opposite opinions.

That the minority that believes that homosexuality is normal has the right to force the rest of the population to accept it and believe it's such.

Republicans are not bad, but darn them if they're going to do something that is on their platform.

That killing a murderer for his crimes is not correct, so well just give him a life sentence and he'll get out on good behavior.

Republican: I say build a wall!
Democrat: Alright, but make sure it's only 4 ft. tall so that the Mexicans don't get offended and make up stories about us.

The people who write almost all of the definitons on this website. No matter what they are always complaining. They also think they could do a better job than anyone holding political office. O yeah, almost forgot, they also take pride in killing babies.------I guarantee you I will be getting 90% more thumbs down than thumbs up for this.

John(not a democrat): Hey did you hear there's a cure for cancer.
Dave(democrat): Yeah, but if I was president 25 years ago, there would of been one then. Freaking idiots running our country.

The more liberal of the two major political parties. Generally holds positions against capitol punishment, but for abortion. Believes it's the governments job to babysit us when we want help, while telling the government to stay out of their lives.

Usually takes strong opposition to George W. Bush, including constant mockery and many political cartoons satarizing him.

More recently, decries any political joke or cartoon at President Obama's expense as racist and unfair.

"I'm running for Office as a Democrat, and I'm against capital punishment!"
"But sir, you have gone on record as being strongly for abortion."
"I don't see any connection."
"You're against sentencing someone who made a choice to commit his crimes to death, but are willing to kill a human fetus."
"Ah, well that's not a human."
"But it's a beating heart of something that will inarguably become human. And many would take the stand that it IS a human."
"Look at that! We're out of time!"
